Are You Ready For the Health Inspector?

By PJP Marketplace • January 25, 2018
It’s every restaurant owner’s worst fear. No one wants their restaurant, their livelihood, shut down by the health inspector. It’s one of the hardest things for a restaurant to overcome. Not only will you probably have to invest time and money in fixing the problems, but there’s a chance that you could lose business when you reopen because of the stigma that often follows restaurants after a health violation. The obvious solution to these problems is to never get shut down for a health code violation in the first place. Easier said that done, right? Perfectly fine establishments who think they have things under control are shut down all the time. When you’re juggling the many hats you need to wear as a restaurant operator, sometimes little things slip through the cracks. The health inspector could catch and shut you down for any of them. At PJP, we care about our customers, and we want to make sure that you never run into these problems. That’s one of the many reasons we developed our Essential 8 program.
